“If your marriage lasts more than six months, you’re already in the Guinness Book of World Records, if you’re a Hollywood marriage,” Kline told Business Insider at the Toronto International Film Festival.
However, Kline doesn’t consider the couple’s union to be a “Hollywood marriage.”

The two have never lived in Hollywood, choosing instead to raise their family in Manhattan. Kline also noted that they each like to stay out of the spotlight, despite being well-known celebrities.
“That’s why you’ll see no Botox,” Kline joked. “These are my lips, what’s left of them.”
Kline gushed about Cates as a mother and wife, as the couple approaches their 36th wedding anniversary in March.
“She’s got her head on her shoulders, unlike me. I usually have my head on her shoulders, too,” he told the outlet. “She’s a great wife, a great mother, great person, and she keeps me honest.”
“Except for in interviews,” Kline joked.
